    "content": "The Senate has a lot of work to do. They should sit down and deal with the pending bills issue. The county governments should make sure that they allocate money for settling those bills, instead of looking for Ksh20 billion from the national Government when they know that it has programmes that are aimed at benefitting all the counties. Every county will benefit when we come up with Export Processing Zones (EPZs) across the country. It is going to create jobs and opportunities. Instead of the county governments working on their revenue collection to ensure that they do not strain the national revenue kitty, they are sitting pretty and asking for what they call their rightful share. The counties demand for money without caring that revenue collection at the national level is dwindling. I support the fact that the National Assembly should reject the amendments to the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill that have been brought by the Senate. The Senate should be directed to do its job of ensuring that county governments up their revenues at the county-level, provide the services that are needed, curb corruption and pay their pending bills so that we can get this economy moving. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
